Students Pack the House

posted by Emily Niles | 107sc

Register to speak at the Provincial Legislature committee so that MLAs hear loud and clear why Bill 31 would be so negative for students. It’s vital that as many students and community members as possible speak committee to send the strongest possible message.

***The exact date of committee will be determined in the coming days and students will receive communication about when the presentations are taking place.***

After a bill is presented in the Provincial Legislature, it goes to a committee where members of the public can present written or oral statements. In Manitoba, anyone can register to speak and everyone who does so will be given an opportunity.

To register:1. Email Chairperson Michael Barkman at chair@cfsmb.ca to let him know you'd like to speak. He can get you registered to speak at Committee.2. If you'd like to register yourself, call (204) 945-3636.

Everybody's story about how tuition hikes will affect them are important to share. Please get in touch, and help is available to practice, edit and work on presentations to committee.
